From Summer Rays To Study Days: Eight Tips To Help You Navigate Back-To-School
As the warm, carefree days of summer transition, an exciting new school year awaits!
Getting back into the school routine can be tedious, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be challenging.
Balancing academics, extracurriculars and sports isn’t easy, but with the right mindset and support, you’ll be sure to ace the upcoming school year – and Trusted Tutors is here to help!
Here are eight tips to help you along the way:
1. Refresh your knowledge
After all the beach and BBQ days, it’s understandable to find yourself a little behind in your studies when the school year begins.
However, Trusted Tutors is here to help, offering revision of the content covered in the year prior so that your mind will be ready to absorb new information right away.
Additionally, it’s always a good idea to look over any notes from previous semesters to refresh yourself with concepts that your teachers will likely build upon throughout the year.
2. Take some time to unwind
Mental health plays an especially crucial role during the busy school year when your schedule is packed full of extracurriculars and studies.
This is why it’s important not to let yourself get carried away and forget about your mental wellbeing. Take a day off here or there to prioritise yourself and unwind, so that your mind will be fresh and ready to learn.
Remember, all work and no play is not healthy, and will likely lead to you feeling burnt out.
3. Learn at your own pace
Sometimes life can be unpredictable. Luckily, Trusted Tutors has everyone’s unique learning needs in mind, offering a blend of online and face-to-face tutoring, whether it’s at the tutor’s location, in the comfort of the student’s home, or a hybrid of both.
So, whether you’re navigating a hectic after-school routine or you just prefer a digital touch, they’ve got you covered. At the end of the day learning happens at your own pace, so having the option of online and face to face learning aids in making sure it works for you.
5. Balance your extracurriculars
A good plan can be the difference between a stressful year and a successful one. At the beginning of each week, map out your studies around practice times or other commitments you might have.
It may also be helpful to download a calendar app or print a physical one to keep track of all the places you have to go or things you have to do. Moreover, it is important to have time to get your mind off studies and taking up an extracurricular can do just that.
However, if you want to begin attending one but don’t know where to start, do not fret, Trusted Tutors offers an incredible array. From creative arts and cooking to swimming, there is sure to be something to meet everyone’s tastes. Need some ideas? Check out this article.
6. Use the internet to your advantage
Instead of mindlessly playing video-games or scrolling through instagram, check out some academic websites or digital learning tools. More often than not, reading about a topic you’re covering in class that is presented in a different way may help solidify the information in your mind.
7. Be smart with your time
Don’t waste any free periods at school, or idle time on the bus – use it to get a head start on any homework, revision or class readings. Generally, the difference between an A student and a B student lies in the way they make use of their time. Be efficient and productive as often as possible!
8. Self-assessment
Consistently checking in on your academic and athletic progress is vital. By regularly reviewing your performance, you can pinpoint what’s working and where you need to adjust. Maybe you’re acing your studies but lagging on the field, or vice versa.
These evaluations will help you identify what to change in your study sessions or training routines. By assessing your performance you’ll be able to ensure that your improvement does not reach a standstill, both in academics and sports.
Transitioning back to the rhythm of the school year might seem overwhelming, but with the right strategies and support, it becomes manageable. Remember to prioritise mental well-being, learn at a pace that suits you, and consistently evaluate your progress in both academics and sports.
Trusted Tutors is here as a reliable partner, offering diverse methods and tools to cater to every student’s unique needs.
They are here to help you when it comes to balancing your schoolwork with extracurriculars and keep you motivated. Embrace the upcoming year with confidence, optimism, and a drive to succeed!
